YA
She's a bright student, he's a high school dropout; her family is loving, while his dad is abusive. Despite apparent differences, fifteen-year-olds Céce and Mack fall in love. Their romance is cut short when volatile Mack makes an impetuous decision. Griffin subtly maintains a level of optimism in this painful story, creating in readers a mixture of emotions that won't soon leave them.
